The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 115
Zhang Yan has always had great ambitions.

After careful consideration, he decided to take the road of integrating all forces.

Learn from the experience and lessons of the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

He understood that the reason why the Yellow Turban Uprising failed was because each fought independently and was defeated by the imperial court one by one.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't, they completely concentrated their strength to fight against the imperial court, so they were defeated so quickly.

He didn't want to follow Zhang Jiao's old path.

In his opinion, the only way out for the rebel army is to gather the strength of everyone and make full use of the geographical location of Taihang Mountain to fight guerrilla warfare with the imperial court.

Only by fighting against the imperial court together can we have a bright future.

I want to understand these.

He simply used the name of the outside world for them.

Change the Black Mountain Bandit to the Black Mountain Army.

His troops were the first Montenegrin Army.

And the reason why he changed to the Black Mountain Army also exposed his true inner thoughts.

He wants to integrate many rebel forces in the Taihang Mountains.

Let them all become his subordinates.

And he no longer denied their identity as thieves.

They are a force of justice.

It is the army that rebelled against the heavy taxation of the imperial court and made the poor people live a better life.

He has selfish intentions, and the leaders of various forces also have selfish intentions.

But everyone understands the truth of the lips and teeth.

With the defeat of the Yellow Turban Uprising, when the imperial court recovers, the Montenegro army will face the encirclement and suppression by the imperial court sooner or later.

At present, the various forces do not belong to each other, and small groups of forces are easily defeated by the Han army.

So Zhang Yan began to rely on his eloquence, and his men were strong and strong, lobbying other big and small forces everywhere.

Invite them to join your team.

After his lobbying.

Some large and small forces, especially the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, have realized that the only way out for everyone is to take the road of merger.

But compared to Zhang Yan.

Obviously, Liu Yi, who is also from the Yellow Turban family, is more attractive in the eyes of the Yellow Turban remnants.

Some common people who know Liu Yi's reputation and fall into the grass are also more attracted to Liu Yi.

There are also many power leaders who think that Zhang Yan is a person who does great things, has a lot of ideas, and is worth following.

then.

The large rebel army in the Taihang Mountains area was divided into three factions.

Some chose to join Liu Yi, some chose to join Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, and some forces were undecided and on the sidelines.

This result made Zhang Yan quite helpless.

It was far from what he had imagined.

He thought that he would be able to cast from all directions if he raised his arms and raised his arms.

Unexpectedly, the result was far from what he expected.

After his persuasion.

The various forces have reached a preliminary intention on the whole and agreed to take the road of merger.

In peacetime, everyone acts independently, and in wartime they receive unified command.

However, only about one-third of the forces actually joined his camp.

Except for some forces that hold a wait-and-see attitude, other forces, large and small, have handed in their names to Liu Yi.

He expressed his willingness to accept Liu Yi's dispatch during the war, to help each other, and to fight against the imperial court together.

Regarding the overtures of the various forces, Liu Yi only agreed temporarily. As for how to deal with this matter, it was still difficult for him to make up his mind for the time being.

Obviously, these people said that they accepted his dispatch and helped each other to resist the imperial court, but they actually wanted to seek his asylum.

There are pros and cons to this.

The advantage is that he doesn't have to take the initiative to lobby the various forces, and everyone will take the initiative to take refuge in him. In the future, he can save a lot of energy in integrating the Black Mountain Army.

Population is the potential force and labor force, allowing him to develop and grow himself quickly.

As long as his strength is stronger, more forces will join him actively, and it will be a good cycle.

The disadvantage is that it is still in the early stages of development, the village system has just begun to be implemented, and many areas still need to be improved.

For the time being, it is still impossible to swallow these mixed forces and turn them into their own use.

If the court continued to encircle and suppress these insurgents, it would be difficult for him to shelter them one by one.

Although he can dispatch their various forces to help each other and consume the court's troops to preserve his own strength.

But the various forces have the intention to take refuge in him, and it is somewhat unethical for him to do so.

Finally after discussion.

Everyone agrees that it is acceptable to temporarily accept the support of various forces, large and small.

In order to facilitate the development and stability, they can be gradually absorbed into Ngai Hing City.

As far as conditions permit, try to help them fight against the imperial court's encirclement and suppression.

While reducing their pressure, it also avoids falling into a situation where their lips are cold and their teeth are dead.

As such.

It really depressed Zhang Yan.

He traveled around Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and Hanoi counties to persuade.

After working for so long, my feelings are running errands for Liu Yi for free.

Liu Yi didn't do anything, and a large number of people took the initiative to offer refuge.

Every time he thought of this, Zhang Yan couldn't eat any more depressed food.

Is there any reason?
Is there any king law?
……

Of course, Liu Yi was somewhat unexpected.

Without doing anything, a large number of people came to seek refuge.

This feeling is really cool.

It seems that the reputation he has painstakingly cultivated is quite good, at least for the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, it is very appealing and attractive.

The only pity is that Zhang Yan did not choose to join him.

In Liu Yi's mind, Zhang Yan is considered a rare talent.

From the head of the thief to the general of the imperial court, not only was he whitewashed, but he also perfectly realized the major transformation of his identity.

Truly a winner in life.

in history.

It only took Zhang Yan about two years to gather more than one million troops and declare the million-dollar Black Mountain Army to the outside world.

There is no doubt about the presence of moisture in it.

But he can stand out among many Montenegrin forces, and his personality charm can be seen.

Throw away his appeal among the many Montenegro armies.

Leading his Black Mountain Army to repel the imperial court's conquest army many times, making the court unable to conquest, it also shows that his commanding ability is not weak.

At his peak, he fought fiercely with Lu Bu several times in the Changshan area without losing.

Lu Bu's power was not considered weak from the beginning to the end, but Lu Bu failed to manage his business well, and played a good hand of cards poorly.

Zhang Yanneng led his army to fight Lu Bu many times without losing the wind.

Although it has an advantage in military strength, its ability and strength should not be underestimated.

But in the later period, they fell into scattered operations again, and were defeated and suppressed by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others one after another.

But it is undeniable that Zhang Yan's abilities in all aspects are indeed good.

In the next period of time.

Zhang Yan tried his best to persuade the neutral rebel forces.

Except for some who took refuge in Liu Yi, the rest finally felt his sincerity and all belonged to him.

Zhang Yan was inspired by Liu Yi.

While constantly training soldiers to strengthen the base camp, at the same time, a large area of ​​wasteland was opened up to develop its own strength.

Since then.

The distribution of forces in the Taihang Mountain area gradually became clear.

Mainly the two major forces headed by Zhang Yan and Liu Yi, and various forces subordinate to them.

The various forces are independent of each other, they operate independently on weekdays, and they help each other in the face of court conquests.

It is said to be an affiliation relationship, but it is more like a cooperative relationship.

Compared with the various subordinate forces, the relationship between Liu Yi and Zhang Yan is in a very delicate state.

Competition and cooperation are all in their minds.

at the same time.

Su Shuang fled back to the base camp of Jizhou, Zhongshan County in embarrassment with the handymen and guards.
